golden touch razorlight backing track and tabs

Author/Artist: Razorlight (www.razorlight.co.uk)
Title: Golden Touch
Tabber: Andrew Biles
Standard tuning

This is a great new(ish) song. I haven't included the lead parts, but may update the
at some point to add them (I haven't worked them out yet, so unless I add them,
please mail me asking if I've done them). This is pretty much spot on, the solo
rhythm might be a touch off, but I've tried to write out how I play it.
The order isn't that complicated, I couldn't find the lyrics so you're going to
have to out the second verse's, but you just repeat the first section, then go
into the solo and the part I've written after the solo.

*Update* Please realise this is mainly based around an acoustic version played
Live at Fopp (downloadable, at this point, from www.libertines.org).
Lots of people have sent me e-mails asking for the lead parts as well, so I've sat
down for 1/2 an hour and tabbed out, what I think them to be. I'm aware that the
released version of the song doesn't have the solo in, and that it starts off with
a B chord (if I remember correctly), but the rest of the song is pretty much the
same (not sure about the lead parts, will listen later).

GOLDEN TOUCH - Razorlight
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tabbed by: Laurie
Email: rather not say really

Tuning: E A D G B e (standard)

OK, this is the way me and my band play it, and having checked playing along to the
it's about as correct as I can get!

These are the chords guitar one uses

C#m A B G#m G#m* E Emaj7/Eb A/F# B/G# D
e|-4--0--2--4---4---7----x------x----x---5-|
B|-5--2--4--4---4---9----9------2----4---7-|
G|-6--2--4--4---4---9----9------2----4---7-|
D|-6--2--4--6---6---9----9------2----4---7-|
A|-4--0--2--6---x---7----6------x----x---5-|
E|------------------------------2----4-----|

The intro is just guitar one, and makes use of a reduced B chord, so I'll tab out these
bars, played by guitar one. The chords are played staccato and give a really cool intro!

Guitar 1

e|-------------------|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-|
B|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|
G|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-|-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-|
D|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-|-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-|
A|-x-x-x-x-4-x-x-x-x-|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-|
E|-------------------|-----------------|

Then you go into the verse, Guitar 2 plays nothing, and using the chord shapes I wrote
the top, this is the structure

[Verse]

A G#m C#m
I know a girl with a golden touch
A G#m C#m
She's got enough she's got too much
E Emaj7/Eb C#m
But I know you would'nt mind
A G#m*
You could have it all if you wanted
A G#m* C#m
You could have it all if it matters so much

(play C#m for the bridge between chorus and verse/verse and chorus etc. each time!)

[Chorus]

C#m B A A/F# B/G#
But then all they know is how to put you down
C#m B A A/F# B/G#
When you're there they're your friend, but then when you're not around
C#m B A A/F# B/G#
They say oh, she's changed, we know what they mean
C#m B A
Well they mean, they're just jealous, because they'll never do the things
A/F# B/G# C#m
that they wish that they could do so well

Ok, from now on guitar one can either play the same chords softly for verse 2 and the
(it changes a bit in verse 3), or you can play an octave for the root of each chord-sounds
but isn't! It sounds like that's what the band actually play.

Here are the octave chords if you don't know how to play them

C#m A B G#m E
e|---------------|
B|-6-----4-----9-|
G|-x-----x-----x-|
D|-4--7--2--6--7-|
A|----x-----x----|
E|----5-----4----|

When I play it I normally play a B octave instead of the G#m, it just sounds cooler! But
you use sounds fine. (play the normal E one for both E and Emaj7/Eb, and the normal A
B ones for A/F# and B/G#)

Now for the lead guitar. I'm not sure whether it's a guitar or synthesiser that plays
the first chorus, but with enough effects you can play it! So during chorus, one, guitar 2
this:

Guitar 2

[CHORUS 1] (3 and 4 as well)

e|-----9----11----------------9-----------------|
B|---9---------12----12----10---10-----10----12-|
G|-9-----9--------11-----9----------11----13----| x4
D|----------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------|

This is the same as for chorus 3 and 4 except for one difference, when you play it the
time round in each case, you play this:

e|-----9----14----------------9-----------------|
B|---9---------12----12----10---10-----10----12-|
G|-9-----9--------11-----9----------11----13----|
D|----------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------|

(Bear in mind that after the third chorus is played, you just play the chorus
4)

Only a very slight difference on tab but all the difference when playing!

These choruses both finish on another version of C#m, which looks like this

e|-12-| Or, if you prefer, this: e|--9---|
B|-14-| A|--9---|
G|-13-| D|--9---|
D|----| G|--11--|
A|----| B|------|
E|----| E|------|

Ok, the lead guitar for verses 2 and 3 looks like this

e|--------------------------|
B|-----5---4-----4-5-(hold)-|
G|---6-------4--------------|
D|-7-----7-----6------------|
A|--------------------------|
E|--------------------------|

e|---------------------------------|
B|---------7-----5-----------------|
G|-----6-----------4-----(hold)----|
D|---7---7---(4)-----(6)-----------|
A|-7-------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------|

e|-----0--------0--------0--------0----|
B|---9---9----9---9----9---9--7-5---5--|
G|-9--------8--------6-----------------|
D|-------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------|

e|-----------------------5--------7-----12----------9--------|
B|-----7--------9------7---7----9---9-/-14--(hold)--9-(hold)-|
G|---6---6----8---8--6--------8---------13-------------------|
D|-7--------9------------------------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------------|

This part is played differently in the last verse, you do this instead

[VERSE 3] This is also where guitar one changes, and plays as follows:

D A C#m D A C#m
e|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--7-----7--5-----5-------------7-----7--5-----5--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|
G|----7--------6------6-(hold)-----7--------6------6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-|
D|------7--------7-------------------7--------7----6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-|
A|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------------------|

Ok, for the second chorus, you have to play this

e|--9------11------9------9---11----|----9-----11-----9------5--7-----|
B|--9------12------10-----10--12----|----9-----12-----10-----7--9-----|
G|--9------11------9------11--13----|----9-----11-----9------6--8-----| x2
D|----------------------------------|---------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------|---------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------|---------------------------------|

Right, that's everything now but the end, and this is what you play. Guitar one just
after playing one final C#m after the last chorus, but guitar 2 plays this:

(play quietly, and slow down towards the end)

e|------9------11---14h12--12-----------9-----11-----12---------|
B|------10-----12----------14—(hold)----10----12-----14—(hold)--|
G|------9------11----------13-----------9-----11-----13---------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------|

e|------9------11---14--12--------|
B|------10-----12-------14—(hold)-|
G|------9------11-------13--------|
D|--------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------|

Then the weird violin end comes in, sorry no tab for that!

I hope this isn't too confusing to read, my only defence is that it's the first tab I've written!
